Day one of the Ramsay Health and Fitness Cross Canada Challenge is up and running.
The challenge to raise awareness for mental health is encouraging people to quote, "Get your health back!" and log your distance traveled.
RHF Co-founder, Dawson Ramsay says it's going to be difficult but it's something dear to him.
"The days been good, I'm not used to getting up that early getting my day going but I wanted to start with everybody else... it's something that's dear to me, I've fought depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember -- since my hockey days -- it's going to be a tough first week getting up that early and get going, but it feels good a little tired but good."
Ramsay also says, if people do cardio for one hour every day they can accomplish the distance in six months.
